From il prominent points, east
and w6t, the icrchnU and manu
facturers are feeling jabilant over the
proppwtt of a large and active fall
trade.'and a general revival of busi
ness. Farming lands in Illinois. Iowa,
Minnesota and some parts of Wiscon
sin are increasing in value, and the
Ctii.-ago Trihune looks upon the fact
as a turning point in the depression
of all kinds of real estate.
The question of woman's suffrage
is to be submitted to a vole of the
people of Colorado at the October
election. Lucy Stone and otber ad
vocates of the measure are stumping
the State in its interest.
The public debt was reduced dur
ing the month of August three million.
eight hundred thousand dollars.
That is the financial record of the
Republican party. It speaks more in
its favor than all the platforms in the
United States.
EitiHTr-oxE bands in the Govern
ment Printing Office have. Leen
thrown out of employment; cause
democratic economy The Judicial
department is at a 8tand-6til!, the
army and navy unpaid, the arsenals
and Government machiLe-shops closed
all this is the result of Democratic
"economy." '
The Iowa papers are discussiog
the record of John P. Irish, Demo
Tatic candidate for Governor. The
DesMoines Jteyitter says : "His own
words can be produced to show that
tie was a meaner, a more slanderous,
more cowardly vilifier of the Union
rause, the Union soldiers, and Presi
dent Lincoln, than Henry Clay Dean
ever was."
A f ftr.c trade Convention assem
bled at Saratoga on Friday last, at
whicfe resolutions were adopted at
tributing the hard times in this
country to our protective tariff. The
Convention forgot to explain, ho
ever, why Great Britain, wiih free
trade is suffering worse that we are.
We will have plenty of this kind of
twaddle injected into the coming
political can raws, with the hope of
catching the votes of the workingmen
iow out of employment.
The Democrats bave a faint bope
f electing lion. William P. Schell,
of Itedford, to the office of Auditor
General, by attracting to Lis support
the vote of the wortiogmeu'a party.
The workingmen of the State must
Ins troubled with very 6hort memo
ries, if they have forgotten how Mr.
ScbcH accepted a nomination for
Governor at their bands in 18?2, and
shortly before tbe election withdrew
in favor of tbe Democratic candidate,
Charles R. Buckalew. It remains to
le seen whether be can a second
time use the workingmen as a tail
f or the Democratic kite.
Tut favor with which tbe Repub
lican Slate ticket Las been received
and the untainted approval accorded
the platform, indicate that tbe pref
erence of the entire Republican party
Las been declared. We have not
mcd in any Repablicao newspaper a
ingle objection to the candidates or
au unfavorable criticism of tbe plat
form; neither is the support half
hearted or spiritless. The bitterness
with which tbe Democratic ticket was
received ia some quarters and tbe
ridicule the platform excited, are
aowhre visible within oar party to
wards the work of yesterday's con
vention. Tbe candidates are respect
ed for tdcir ability and integrity, and
tbe platform is regarded as a manly,
out-spokeo declaration of principles.
llarrtMwrq TeltyrafJi,
The New York Tmet that baa in
vested largely in "Civil Service Re
form" is badly disgruntled over tbe
anion of the Cabinet on Thursday
last, at which it was . resolved to
make new appointments to the offices
of Collector, Surveyor, and Naval
Officer of tbe Port of Stw York.
Tbe present officers are all verycom
petent and acceptable, and tbe com
mission of bat one of them has ex
pired. There are do charges against
tbem, bo "cause" for their removal,
except to provide positions for others,
and tbe 2 totes thinks that oa tbe
President' ewa theory, "a good
officer Is entitled to at least one re
appointment," and that according to
most Civil Service Reformcri,aa officer
should be removed only "for eanse."
It concludes also that, "there is a
strong flavor of disingenuousness
bout the busioes," and that just ex
actly what is civil service reform, ne
fellow can find oat Of this last
conviction, the Timet does not by
ny meant enjoy a monopoly.
JL J 1 JL 1
i The "Independent" aod irreprefsi
! tie presses jost now gutting most lor
jingly over a reunion of Federal and
Confederate soldiers which took place
! at Marietta Ohio, last week. We are
'told tLat "patriotism crvstalized" if
' "l m
any body knows what that is, and
that the affair was alike honorable to
the State and the cation, and the
millennium was inaugurated. We
lave a faint recollection of having
Leard this kind of gush on wveral
previous occasion, and we would
est like to know how Soutbern men,
who didn't wear the grey, eojoyed
the millennium served up to tbem du
ring the lan political canvass. Let
us have a few reunions at which
"crysUlized patriotism" is disLed out
ia Mississippi, Louisiana, South Car
olina and other Southern States, and
we'll feel like taking a little more
stork in the Marietta Millennium.
The "I .dependent ! press" of tLe
Stale, in its role of second fiddle to
the Democracy, is laboring to pro
duce the impression that the contest
between ReeJer and Passmore fur
Domination was really a struggle be
tween the friends of Hartranlt and
Senator Cameroa. Some color is giv
en to this charge, by the foolish
speech of Wolf, and the indecent dec
larations of Mayor Xorris (formerly
the Governor's private Secretary).
Rut the Governor has tioce disown
ed any responsibility for Norris' re
marks, while Col. Reeder positively
mates that the Senator did not antag
onize him. The whole ticket is en
tirely acceptable to the party through
out the State, and the silly allegation
that there is a breach among promi
nent officials regarding the nomina
tions, will only fool those w ho take
any stock in the weak invention.
The Republican State Convention
which assembled at Harrisburg on
Wednesday of last week was organ
ganized by the selection of Hox. Wm
II. Armstrong of Lycoming as Presi
dent, with forty-seven Vice Presi
dents and seven Secretaries. A Com
mittee of fifty, of which IToq. John
Cessna was Chairman, was appointed
to frame a platform published else
where which was unanimously
adopted. Nox. James P. Steiirf.tt
of Pittsburgh for Judge of the Su
preme Court, and Cait. Wm. B.
Hart cf Montgomery forState Treas
urer, were nominated by acclamation,
and oa first ballot J. A. M. Passmore
of Schuylkill county was nominated
for Auditor General, tbe vote being
Passmore Howard J Reeder 82.
Tbe sessions of the Convention
were remarkably harmonious, the only
contest being between Passmore and
Reeder for Auditor General. During
the pendency of these nominations
Mr. George Wolfe of Union county, a
blathering ex-member of tbe Legis
lature who has a grievance, because he,
la8tyear,failed to procure a nomination
for Senator attempted to create a
flurry by takiDg tbe floor and charging
that Boeder's nomination was opposed
by ibe friends of Senator Cameron
because he (Reeder) was 'a personal
friend of Governor Ilartranft. This
silly diaree was treated with
contempt, no one deigning to
reply to it, and immediately there
after, the first and only ballot was
taken, and Passmore was nominated.
The platform of resolutions adopted
by the Convention is manly, strong,
explicit and praiseworthy, and in mark
ed contract with the shuffling, unin
telligible, demagogic trash uttered
by the Democracy at their late Con
vention. On tbe labor question, the
denunciation of mob violence, and
the hearty commendation of Governor
Ilartranft's fcarlss enforcement of
law under the platform is worthy
of tbe highest praise, while tbe
views expressed in regard to tbe
"Southern Policy" of tbe National
Administration, recognizing as they
do tbe difference of opinion in the
party at tbe seme time declaring con
fidence in tbe President's patriotic
motives, and hoping the "experiment"
may result in peace, good will and!
tbe complete recognition of tbe equal
rights of all men in every eection of
tbe country, will be received in good
part by Republicans entertaining di
verse views o tin subject, ia all
parts of the State.
With so unexceptionable a ticket
and platform, the party can go into
the coming cauvass with every as
surance of success, nay, absolutely
certain to wia, if tbe proper effort is
made.
WORK Or THE CONVENTION.
It has rarely happened that a
State Convention at wh-ch so little
contest developed as to candidates,
ba been more largely attended than
the Republican convention just ad
journed. Tbe hotels and streets ad
jacent were as much thronged, tbe,
night pivt-. a log the convention, as on
tbe ca-ia of tbe fiercest contests in
former years. It was understood
lht there wax no contest a to Sup
reme Jude or Treasurer; while for
Auditor General it soon developed
that Passmore was gaining strength
against Reeder. There was compar
atively little interest io this fight and
what there was seemed to turn on
tbe wish that a new candidate might
be brought forward. Senator Billing
sly waa mentioned, but be was not
pushed with skill or energy. As a
result by Wednesday morning it was
understood there was no real fight a
to tbe ticket
Tbe platform was the real source
of anxiety, and this commanded the
unreserved attention of party leaders.
The result embodies the Lest judg
ment of all present and is the pro
duct of long and earnest deliberation.
Perhaps its wording would hare been
improved had not so much labor and
anxiety been expended on the esaence
o( tbe platform. But never before
were there so many resolutions
brought forward, or was there so
much platform work done. The pre
vailing sentiment of ibe Convention
was anti-Hayes, as regards his South
ern policy, though there was a re
spectable minority ia bis favor. If
tbe expression oa this subject shall
seem to go to a considerable length,
it will be borne ia mind that it waa
freely and readily conceded by tbe
anti-Hayes element in tbe interest of
gMHMpjMqpasafi
harmony and peace
The absence of a Civil Service Re -
form resolution is attribulablo to tbe
same reason. 1 here were amerences
of opinion as to tbe details of tbe
question, what should be consider
ed to constitute Civil Service Reform,
and as tbe Republican party ia the
State bad made for itself a clear ana
favorable record on tbe subject, it was
thougbt it could 6afelr omit any fur-
ther pxnre.asioo. So in regard to tbe
repeal of tbe resumption act To fa
i o
vor its repeal without seeming to fa
vor the mor-t unguarded inOalioa was
thought difficult, except through a
long and careful worded resolution ;
and as there is time enough for that,
besides its being a question of exped
iency, likely to be governed by events
yet to transpire, it was thought Ut
ter to make no uclivcrence on tLe
subject. The unqualified demand on
silver remonetizau'on should, without
doubt, meet all expectations in that
direction.
The remaining portion of the work
of the Convetion do not require spec
ial mention at our hands. It is in
full accord with the sentiments of
the party, as is shown by the circum
stances that while many delegates
brought resolutions, they embodied,
in different forms of expression, the
same general features the platform
enunciates. t e conclude, tneretore,
thut tbe platform represents the aver
age views ot the party m toe estate,
and that it is thus likely to receive
the fu'.l support of the party. In this
view, as well as that it meets our
ideas, we cordially commend, and re
gard the work of tbe Conveution as
having been unusually well done.
Ia this we think the party will agree,
and agreeing will ratify ius work with
a good majority at the polls PitU

Jl'IXiE JAMES P. STEI1RETT.
Hon. James I Sterrett, the Repub
lican nominee for Judge of the Su
preme Court, is a geutleman whose
eminent qualities both in private life
and as a public character are well
known and universally acknowledged.
Most of his professional life has been
spent in this county, where he has
built up an unassailable reputation for
those high qualities as a gentleman
and a jurist which fit him ia an emin
ent degree for the elevated position

countv. now tie Common Pleas
Court Xo. 1. He was re-elected to
the same position in 1S72, aDd among
tbe high testimonials which have
been given to his enviable reputation
as a Judge is tbe fact that the Dem
ocracy then declined to put a candi
date into lb: field against Li n. When
Judge Williams died, last spring.
Judge Sterrett was appointed by the
Governor to succeed to the vacancy
thus created 03 the Supreme Bench,
and he now receives th nomination
without opposition. His high char

THE rLATYtHty.
I. While we recognize and resjjett
the difference of opinion existing
amoug ds as to the course pursued
by President . Hayes towards thi
Sooth, we are ia hearty accord ia
honoriug the patriotic motives which
bave guided him and in hoping that
tbe results of bis policy will be peace,
I good-will and (he conipLsta recajn'. !
, lion of the Equal Kfghis of li men !
to the efforts of his administration to
canr into effect tbe principles of tbe
platform upon which he wax elected,
we pledge our beartv and cordial
eopport
2. The Electoral Commission bav-
ing been created at the urgent solfcit-
ation or ibe Democratic party and ei
ter the oft-repeated declarations
of
its leaders ia both Houses of Con
gress that no fiction could cavil at its
uecisions, we witness, with profouud
astonishment, the assaults of that par
ty upon ibe august tribunal of its own
creation, beciuse its decisions disap-;
poiated tbeir expectations of official
patronage. Such assaults, so far as
they seek to impair tbe confidence of
the people iu the just tulo of tbe 1 res
ident to bis high oflice, are equally
childish and foolish, but may become
extremely mischievous ia assisting
to diminish tbo popular respect for
the decisions of lawful tribunals.
3. We respectfully but earnestly
entreat all members of tbe National
and State Legislatures to assist the
return of prosperity to this great and
rich country by adopting such meas
ures to that end as are in tbeir power :
to devote less attention to partisan
strife and more attention to business
interests of tbe country, in order that
wise and proper laws may be passed
to let sen the burdens of labor and in
crease its rewards ; to encourage and
restore to activity legitimate industri
al enterprises, and to enable tbe
country to find a foreign market for
its surplus products and manufact
ures. 4. That the Republican party, in
passing ibe Homestead Law, inaug
urated and is firmly committed to the
policy that the public lands belong to
tbe people and should be sacredly re-j
served to actual settlers, free of cost
to whoever will occupy them ia good
faith, and that all laws permitting tbe
acquisiiiou ol more than ODe hun
dred and sixty acres of such public
land, by any one person, should be
repealed.
5. That we are opposed to the pol
icy, heretofore prevailing, of renew
ing patents by act of Congress, and
we fvor such a revision of tbo pat
ent laws as will hereafter prevent the
renewal of any patent
C. That the long and successful ex
istence under tbe laws of Congress of
tbe double coiu standard warrants us
iu demanding an early repeal of the
legislation which demonetized silver
and established an almost exclusive
gold standard ; and we therefore fa
vor a returp of the free use and unre
stricted coinage of the dollar of 1793,
and its restoration to the position it
held as a legal tender during eighty
years of our national existence, thus
preserving tbe equality of the com,
mercial value of tbe silver dollar with
the gold dollar, and keeping both in
circulation.
7. That the administration of Gov
ernor Ilartranft calls for our warmest
approbation, lie has established a
State policy which has justly endear
ed him to tbe people of t us Common
wealth, and has amply justified the
confidence placed in him. Tbe steady
reduction of the State debt during
bis administration, and tbe success
ful refunding of a large portion of tbe
debt at a lower rate of interest, are
the best pjssible evidence that the
State Las beeq wel and eponomically
governed, and that the people bave
everything to Lope and nothing to
fear from a continuance of tLe Re
publican party in power.
8 We are in favor of law and order
against lawlessness and auarchy, with
all their attendant horrors and crimes.
Equal Rights in making laws impose
equal duties ia obeying them, when
made ; and we tendar our hearty
thanks 0 Governor Ilartranft and
tbe officers and soldiers cf his com
mand for tbe prompt, and, we bope,
the effectual suppression of the la .
less disturbance which recently oc
curred in this State.
9. That we hold ia equal respect
tbe rights of capital to control its in
vestment, and of labor to determine
the value of its services ; that we
depreciate any assertion by violence of
tbe rights of either, and wa assert as
tbe duty of all citizens to hold tbeir
respective rights within the just imi
tations of law, and that any attempt
to coerce others by unlawful means
should be promptly repressed by such
lawful authorities as the exigency
demand'.
10. Wt regrot to oltMirfe that ibe
Democratic parly of J'ennsylvani is
afraid to express a decided opinion
on any question of present political
importance, except its open declara
tion ia favor of Free Trade, and tbat
it still cherishes tbe delusion that
expressions c-f political opinions
ought either to mean anything or no
thing, as may best tend to secure tbe
restoration of that party to the con
trol of the offices and the Treasury of
the Commonwealth. We are confi
dent tbat the intelligent citizens of

trusj the popduct of affairs to the par
ty vhii-li 1)3 Lpen zealous in tbe
maintenance of its credit, vigilant in

past administration of Its govern
ment has been honest and competent,
and ftarlcstJy faitnful to the best in
terests of all men, as well as all
clasaps 551 conditions of men within
ber boroeri.
11. Tbat we renttw or ofi repeat
ad declarations la far or of adequate
protection to American industry, and
now that manufactures are languish
ing and workmen are out ot employ
ment, tfc common interest demands a
still adherence to ti,e protective policy
which tbe Republicans of i'pnnsy

A Sew Terk Eterrer.
V t? . K-
-J. P.
Hale's pl.no factory, on W est Tb.r-
TJ reet, was entirely destroyed
by fire this moroiog.
Tbe flames extended to Ibe south
bide of the street, destroying the en
lire block between Tenth and Elev
enth avenue; also M. (Jonnell's bar
rel factory, J. Graham & Co.'a silk
factory, north of Tbirty-fiifih street.
and a block of frame bouses 00 Tenth
avenue, between thirty-fifth and Tbir
ly-sixtb streets. A steam Dre engine
was burned, tbe firemen being unable
to cret it out in consequence of tbe 10-
! tense heat. ;'..-
The firemen made every effort pos
sible, but lack of water constantly
hampered tbeir efforts. Tbey suc
ceeded before noon,' however, ia get
ting tbe fire under control, although it
waa still burning fiercely in some ol
the buildings. The walls of the brick
buildings fell from time to time with
a heavy crash. In tbe confusion pre
vailiug it waa impossible to obtain
any details of tbe losses, and very
difficult to make even an approximate
estimate of the losses. Tbe lowest
estimate of tbe latter is $1,000,000,
and many persons place the amount
at a much higher figure.
It is believed by many persons in
the neighborhood tbat from twenty to
forty workmen perished ia the piano
factory, but thus far it is merely sup
position. Three alarms were seat
out ia rapid succession, aod a Urge
force of firemen, engines and trucks
responded to tbe calls. Tbe heat
produced by the fire was intense, and
the firemen were obliged to keep at a
considerable distance from the burn
ing buildings. It ia probable, howev
er, tbey could bave prevented tbe fire
from spreading if tbey bad bad a nu
ficient supply of water. Tbe hydrants
supplied only scant streams, and
some became entirely di aioed.
Another statement is tbat 2o or JO
girls employed ia tbe upper stories of
Hale's factory bave perished. 1 be
ambulances bave removed some IS or
20 wounded, who jumped, from the
burning factory. Still another state
ment is tbat of 1 0 to 200 men ia tbe
factory at the time of tbe Gre, com
paratively few escaped death or fatal
waunds.
About 350 families, are rendered
homeless, aod most of tbeir furniture
destroyed. While the fire waa at its
height a number of people on tbe
sheds ia PbeUn's yard were thrown
to the ground and badly 'ojured. A
woman jumped from the window of a
tenement bouse in Thirty-seventh st.
aod was instantly killed.
Nv York, September 3 At 10
o'clock this morning a fire broke out
ia Hale's extension piano factory, on
West Thirty-fifth street, between
Tenth and Eleventh avenues. Owing
to tbe inUamable nature of tbe stock
the flames spread with great rapidiiy,
and soon tbe factory aod a dvzia ten
ement houses were in fUnies. There
was a scarcity of water in tbe neigh
borhood, consequently there 'was
some delay before the engines played
on the Ere, and several alarms were
sen.V'Ctin baste, roaliy water was
obtained from Eighth avenue and the
river. The fire origioeted in the
sounding board drying room on the
third floor of tbe factory. A spark
from the store ignited a pot of var
nish, which had been placed upon it
to heat and lbs flames spread like a
flash. Nicho3 XI onk, ths varnieher,
fled at onpe for his life, giving tbe
alarm as be ran, but .he wjodows be
ing open; tbo flames swept through
the building, (jading fresh fqel at ev
ery step, Tbe hatch ways in onp p.r,
ner were open aod tbe flames rushed
to tbe upper stories as through a flue.
The factory wag eight stories ia
height, aqd although it is said that
the meqas of espape were sufficient,
yet a number of livps wpre jost.
There were cup hundred and sixty
five men in tbe buildiag. Tbe (limes
spread so rap'dly tbat the men who
were above the drying room were cat
off from tbe staircase. Tbey ran to
tbe roof and to tbe windows and
dropped to the ground. Meanwhile
the fire rapidly increased in fury, and
tbe piano factory was one sheet of
flame. The walls soqo began to fall.
Tome of the firemen say that at this
time, oq jQirty-sixtb street tourtecn
men were clinging to the windows of
tbe upper story, and that tbey were
ourieu ia me tailing ruins. 1 ney
conld not be reached by Udders, and
the flames drove back tbe firemen.
other nuiLPisua destroyed.
A high wind parped the flames
across to ank destroyed seventeen
tenement houses on the nont side of
Thlrtv-six'.h street, six tenements
owned by Mc Masters, in Wjsf Thirty-fifth
street, tbe rear of twenty ten
ements in 1 Dirty-seventy street, a
small tenement ia the rear of No. 525
West Thirty-fourth street besides
which several factories in West Thirty-fourth
street were damaged. Xos.
453 to 457 Tenth avenue were partly

THE KILLED AND THE INJURED.
A dispatch received earl ibi-i
morning says the. Dumber, at casual
ties thus far reported are Oliver I'm
nicker, who jumped from tbe top
story and was instantly" killed'aod
Aaoie Smith, a child, smothered ia a
tenement house adjoining tbo factory.
Tbe iojarcd were l'dul Hess, jumped
from tuo seventh story window to a
adjoining building, not dangerously
hurt Thomas Lud wig, jumped from
tbe fifth story, slight injuries, James
Roland, fireman of engine 18, wall
fell, burying bim under i', both legs
broken. John f. fourquest drop
ped from tbe second story, severely
burned and leg broken. Tbe follow
ing persons, all employ d 10 toe- pi
ano factory are missing, and there is
but little doubt but tbey bavo been
buried in tbe ruins: II. Bade, John
Guoberger, John Kutscb, James
Smith aud Patrick Trainer.
Over fifty buildings ia all have
been destroyed. Some of tbe most
terrible scenes of tbe fire occurred ia
the teaemeot houses. Oue fireman
rescued ao infant and its helpless
father from a fourth floor, and then
went back at the peril of bis life aod
found another child just expiriog
from suffocaiiou oa the top fl or. An
nie bweet, anoccupjui of a tenant
Louse, died from f. ight Whea the
walls fell it became easier for the fire
men to work and the intense heat
subsided somewhat, enabling them
to approach aud play on the buroiug
masses. It was noticed tbat du
ring the day no employes were to be
round, and therefore persons believed
that they had all perished io tbe
flames, but vet few inquiries were
made at tbe station house or in the
vicinity of the fire for ibe misniog
rren during the day. It is said that
many of the employes live in Hobo
kea and on escaping (if they did)
went home at once. It is almost 1m
possible to estimate correctly tbe loss,
but it is put at about $500,000. and
the insurance as far as ascertained
was about $200,000.
A a Oil Traia fire.
Cleveland, O., Sept 5 A severe
accident occurred to-day . six miles
east of ibis oily, 00 the Mahoniog
Division of tbe Atlantio and Great
Western Railroad- At about tlz
o'clook ia the morning an oil train of
twenty cars, wnen passing dowo a
heavy grade parted, aud before tbe
fUgraau could tie sent back, ao extra,
which was following , close behind.
came arouod a sharp curve and was
close upon tbe - rear of - tbe forward
train. Tbe eugioeer aod fireman,
after reversing tbe engine and whitt
ling down brakes, jumped . from the
train. Tbe men ia tbe caboose, of
the first traia . bad barely time to
jump when tbe terrible collision came.
1 he sparks from tbe engine set fire
to tbe last car, aod the flames spread
with tucu rapidity tbat all seyea cirs
ia front of the engine antt four cars
of Ibe seconq lrin were hopelessly
ablaze before anything could bo done
to prevent it. Tbe pars were, how
ever, : detached, ia a. . very few
miuq'.es. 1'be ; Uieo i)4teqed to a
safo disiauue, aod very soon a terri
ble explosion of tbe gas generated by
tbe beat ia the first tank occurred,
throw iog tbe pieces of iroa anj feet
into the air aod-Uodin them rods
back into the surrounding fields.
Tbis threw tbe burning oil ia every
direolion, - aod communicated the
flames to other cars, aod the combus
tible material soon threw up a blaze
from the manholes more than 30 feet
toward the sky. , -
Your oorrespiodeat arrived upon
the scene. just at tbU moment, and
obtained a fine view of the extent of
ibe catastrophe, From . one car , to
another tbe flames spread until more
ibao half a mile of traok was ia flames.
Tbe oil from the exploded tanks was
upon tbe feuoeg and grass alonf the
line, and all of it was burning at a
terrific rate. . At one time there were
fears tbat some buildings in the vi
cinity would catch fire, but the dan
ger was soon past. As soon as it
was safe to approach the wreck,
wrecking t raj as, well manned, were
upon the spot and begaq tbe work it
clearing away, the burning rubbish.
The oil aod tank cars belonged to, tbe
Standard Oil Compaoy, aod ibe 1 1
cars consumed eontained io round
numbers 1,000 barrels of crude ma
terial, valued at $2,500. The loco
motive and tender, 49 well as the ca
boose of tbe first train, , were com
pletely oonsumcd. - Tbe total, lo is
estimated by the ompaoy at $13,
000, betides tbe loss from; delay ia
tmmpjrtatioo, which will aoiauul to
as mac: more. j .; . t..-. .

Ike rrepnrt'a Will.
Ilrigham Young's will was road 00
Mondav io the presence of all bis
wi"es aod cbildruu, and a few friends.
Brigbaru Voua, jr., George O Can
noo aud Albert Carriogtoo are nam
ed as his executors. Ibe estate is
largely real estate, and is probably
worth $2,000,000. Ibe wilt waa
made four yeais ag , and tbe youug-
est child, bora of Mary VauColt, was
ttieo three years old. Brighani young
was the father of fifty six t bildren
aud left sev.-uteeo wives, sille n sous
and twenty eight daughters." Tb
will aims to make an equitable divis
ion of tbe property betweeo all Ibe
wives aod childreu, with no prefer
ence to any. Most of tbem bave al
ready bad sometbiog deeded to them
Uu ibu a valuation was set and it is
to be charged to the recipients as part
of their share, though not necessarily
at the valuation he put oa it That
is to be equitably adjusted when tbe
estate is divided, upon tbe youogest
child coaiing of age. Meanwhile the
income is to go to tbe various moth
ers according to the Dumber of tbeir
children, and they can withhold it if
the children behave bidly. All are
provided for as far as tbeir present
needs are concerned. Deceased held
many interests ia trust for the church
and tor individuals. His executors
are directed to turn tbem over prop
erly, ibe cburcb is forbidden by law
to bold more than $50,000 worth of
property ; and so it was largely held
by ingbam oung io trust. His
friends will not entertaia the ootioo
that he ever abused that trust. There
is 00 inventory of the property on the
estate, and it U widely scattered.
With the country prosperous and full
of money, it ould be worth twice
the above valuation. Recently Brig
ham Vouag endowed an academy
wiih lands at Provo and another at
Logan, the Utter with 12,000 acres.
He bad determined to endow one at
Salt Lake, but be did uot live loug
enough to do s.. A person present
at tbe reading f the will says it seem
ed to be very satisfactory to all con
cern! d. It will be probated as soon
as possible. It will be wonderful if
some ili'Matisfactiou does not creep ia
within the next thirteen years. ;
